So I noticed a lot more of these that showed up tonight, but with one little wrinkle this time around.
2012 Bowman Chrome Test Auto Orange Refractor Williams Jerez Boston Red Sox RC | eBay
So we've seen ones of cards that have been in the set before. But for the new wrinkle
2012 Bowman Chrome Test Auto Orange Refractor Ryan Brett Tampa Bay Rays Proof RC | eBay
Now whats different about that one? He wasn't in the 2012 Bowman Chrome autograph set. Interesting. He's not the only "new" player this guy has "proof" cards of. If I remember correctly, some of these guys were in the original checklist
So I'm sure it's been debated about what these really are and how he got them, but it's very interesting now that he's got guys that were never autos

Judging by their feedback I'd say it's a definite possibility, but they've also had some HTG 90s inserts from Football lately.

Yea, I knew there had been a topic about him. But I think the fact that he now has "proofs" of guys that weren't in the set seems like it could be something other than a corrupt printer

Could be why they were pulled from the checklist.

If they were indeed on the original checklist, than these probably are proof sheets from the printer. The auto cards are always made first when the autos are on card, so it is not uncommon for guys to get printed that end up not signing for the actual set.

Which players are not on the original checklist?

Same seller has now moved on to more backdoored stuff - 1998 Flair Masterpieces.

Its fairly well-known that the legacy versions were backdoored, I seem to remember some guy from Indiana going to jail (?) for it.

He states he purchased then in the bankruptcy auction.... He has had quite a bit of Fleer / Sports Illustrated stuff, but not sure they were backdoored more as auctioned off.

Besides integrity, what stops someone from buying those and figuring out a way to stamp the 1/1 on the back and making even more money off them.
Also, did Phil Hughes tell us back on BMB that Topps did indeed make two copies of the 1/1's - maybe these are the other versions that he is somehow getting from somewhere. Cool that he has some stuff of guys that never even had cards in 2012 Bowman
Has anyone shot Topps a message on Twitter to ask them what they know about these or their thoughts???

They would have to stamp "The Only 1 of 1 Masterpiece" in purple foil, not just 1/1.

A large number of the backdoored legacy cards were indeed stamped with a number by someone else. Granted they were stamped in the wrong place, but still.

Yes, Topps does, or at least has in the past, printed more than one copy of 1/1's. I assume in case of damage etc.
